First (and best) advice, is before you begin freezing, make a fresh nandroid in SS.

Then, begin freezing as many of the Samsung/Verizon apps as you can. First pass, if you are not certain you can do without it, hold off until the second pass. After you've frozen as much as you can (don't freeze MyMagazine if you use the email app, it will FC if you do), reboot, test everything you can think of, and then make nandroid backup #2.

Second pass, get more aggressive on the things you freeze, if you are not confident you know what it is, Google it to see if you can get a better idea, and after you freeze as much as you can in pass #2, make nandroid #3 (you can then probably delete nandroid #2 if you are tight on space, but keep nandroid #1 around in case you really get FCs - or something worse).

Once you've made your final "good" nandroid, you can then use TB to delete the frozen ones you're sure you don't need, you can always bring them back from TB if you have history on them.

I froze probably 40-50 things already from RLS8 (example, I don't need FlipBoard or any of the Sammy/VZW apps).

Good luck and happy freezing!

this isn't based off of NC2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
I flashed the NC2 firmware from Beans as instructed in the Baja thread while waiting for RLS8. Baja KK is very good, and no offense at all to Mike, but RLS8 Hyperdrive is IMO much better.

I flashed RLS8 without going back to MJE first, and everything's good. SS 3.72 + NC2, then RLS8
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TechBSwift:
I'm confused, so this is for Non Dev Note 3 aka Verizon Note 3? I'm asking because the update description states "aroma installer".I thought aroma didn't work for the Verizon Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
This makes me suspicious, as well. I googled "N900TUVUBCNB4" and got results for the T-Mobile Note 3. So... this ROM was not built on the "holy grail" of Verizon leaks? I'm wary because all who have installed the NC2 leak have been advised to NEVER to install a different base, for these reasons: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52116851

Until I'm advised otherwise... I'm not installing this ROM, for those reasons. Assuming it is actually based on NC2, I have the following questions:

When I installed Beans's NC2 ROM, I realized that I had some wonky, small emoticons in place of the standard Google Hangouts ones. Is that the case with this ROM, too? I've asked this a few times in the NC2 thread, but no one will answer me. :crying:

My understanding is that GravityBox is only for AOSP ROMs... and Wanam Xposed should be used for TouchWiz ROMs. Why does this ROM have GravityBox? And, what's the difference between the Xposed Module installed, and the HyperDrive tweaks that offer similar options? (position of clock, colors of statusbar, notification shade, etc) -- It seems to me that having more than 1 app capable of changing these UI options is dangerous. Which takes precedence?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
1: My Hangouts emoticons look the same as they did before RLS8

2. Gravity KK working fine on this ROM, I uninstalled Wanam, as Gravity does all that and then some. Also worth noting, HyperDrive Tweaks also has much of this functionality.

My baseband shows N900VVRUCNC2 (but I ODIN'd the tar from Beans for the Baja install)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BossJ:
On my phone at the beach, so I can't write a book and answer everything, however, this is to be flashed ONLY after updating to beans 4.4.2 NC2 rom/firmware. Follow beans or bajas instructions.

Once again this is 4.4.2 flash in SS 3.72... do not do not do not flash on 4.3 or in SS 3.65...

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
Boss, Thanks for the reply. I updated my post slightly, with more information.

I'm definitely already on NC2 from Beans. I installed the leak within hours of Hashcode releasing the safestrap 3.72 version for KK. The question I have is why

this ROM isn't based on the NC2 release

. It says NB4. The NB4 base is for a T-Mobile N3... and may or may not contain all the "frills" that the NC2 leak came with for our phone, such as kernel module compatibility, and the SELinux permissive. (... I don't know what to do with those... but I'm counting on the devs being able to work their magic and provide something good from it.)

When Beans and Hashcode (safestrap dev) have specifically told us NOT to install any other firmware than NC2... I'm obviously concerned about installing NB4, and not just because it is for a T-Mo phone. It just isn't kosher for me... and more people in this thread should be cautious, too, until it's cleared up.

I might be acting over-cautious here... it's very possible that the NC2 baseband is untouched when installing this ROM, and so I'm not violating Hashcode's PSA. I'd just like to know in no uncertain terms what's going on here with this NB4 business.

By the way... have fun at the beach. I'm stuck at work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Flashing a Rom is notably different than flashing firmware there is no harm in testing it out. If your not pleased with the performance simply restore your backup that`s it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
One guess is a cut/paste error from Scott, since he released KK Hyperdrive for TMo before VZW? Maybe he just didn't update that text?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
Another question:

If this is indeed based on a T-Mobile release... does that unshackle us from some of Verizon's limitations? For instance... does Google Wallet's tap to pay work, for instance? It doesn't work on the NC2 leak

(I'm not even sure if this is a Verizon problem... they've blocked it in the past, so I'm blaming them for now)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
The ROM's chock full of VZW apps (and not a trace of anything evident to TMo), so that's probably not the case, if even possible
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
That's what I was thinking/hoping, too. Beans and Haschcode have made a very big deal about the weight of this NC2 release, so I've been led to believe that any ROM released after it should definitely be based on the NC2 release.

It should also be noted that the OP was last updated on March 3. NC2 didn't even exist yet. RLS8 based on 4.4.2 only accounts for the last 10 pages or so, of nearly 350 in this thread. Seems like update errors might be likely.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BossJ:
It is indeed a port from his T-mobile ROM. We have worked very hard on converting his T-Mobile ROM for us verizon users, so now we can still have his ROM and all his goodies and he doesn't have to spend countless hours redoing one ROM for two different carriers.

Sadly, He is on T-Mobile now and would not have given us a ROM unless the port when smooth... Which after a few days.. It did :D

So now we will hopefully get all his updates as well.

Hope this clarifies a bit more.

EDIT: ALSO.. I have soft bricked my phone on one of our first builds, because of MY ERRORS... and I was easily able to ODIN back to MJE 4.3 and then back to 4.4 again. :D This isn't a firmware upgrade. It is the NC2 Firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
I share your concern but not to the point of not installing this ROM, I can't see sbreen setting us up to fail like that, he must know it works, plus numerous people ahve installed it and report it's working. I'm sure sbreen will comment on thsi eventually.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
I had to MJE back a couple times getting the sequence down too, when I went from RLS7 to Baja KK.

Thanks for the clarification, I am now even MORE impressed with RLS8 knowing that it was ported from another carrier.

I purchased a Gold Tweaks key when Scott introduced them with RLS7, and 8 is so good I may well donate again. :good::
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
So... is it safe to say, then, that the baseband will remain NC2, but the build number will be NB4? Baseband is the "core" right, like the kernel and stuff? Excuse my ignorance.

I agree that sbreen would not lead us astray. I just wanted to play it safe. I strayed from HyperDrive when I went AOSP/CM on my S3, but I am no stranger to the quality of the ROMs/dev. It's been a while, though. Since those days, however, I understand he's no longer a Verizon customer, so I'm somewhat wary about a port from another carrier. I've been bitten before.

Can I ask yet more questions? Is the mention of an aroma installer also a red herring? That shouldn't be possible given the current progress of development on the N900V. And, any mention of Google Wallet's tap to pay working? That's one thing that would make me flash a new ROM. I sat on MI9 for the longest time, and jumped to NC2 in hopes that kitkat's inherent support for NFC payments would allow it work. It didn't.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
baseband == radio

No aroma, just flash the zip and it installs (just like earlier HD ROMs)

Install it, if you don't like it (you will) you can always flash something else (you won't!)

I upgraded everything successfully a few weeks ago to grab the stock KK rom from beans, which I'm running now. However I had to go back to the MJE modem bc the NC2 was HORRID for me.

Just want to make sure here that I'm ok to flash RLS8 even tho I downgraded (correct term?) My modem. I still upgraded the KK frimware before like I said and am also on KK safestrap. Really want to give this a run, just want to avoid borking things if ive got the process wrong. TIA

Again, major props to Scott and the beauty that is HyperDrive. We're not as spoiled as other devices so it's great having the talent and dedication

Wanam Hide headset apps not working

I'm having issues with the setting within Wanam which hides the recommended headset apps in the notification pulldown menu. I've tried selecting it on/off with restarts and no luck.

All other Wanam settings are working fine, any advice? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
I want to say this is a setting in Hyperdrive tweaks and that's why it isn't working in Wanam. But I am not 100% and I'm in the middle of a backup so I can't check.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] burbank:
Okay. I'm confused. I have Beans' [ROM/ROOT][N900VVRUCNC2][4.4.2] Stock Root Odex/DeOdex [04/23/14] installed in Stock and Hyperdrive KK RLS8 installed in slot 1 using Safestrap 3.72. It all "seems" to be working. Should I abandon this setup, delete slot 1, and install Hyperdrive KK RLS8 into Stock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
And RLS8 is successfully booting from slot1? If so, I'd say leave it as is and pat yourself on the back, 'cause everyone is saying SS 3.72 doesn't support ROM slots yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Iskateforfree:
Hey I'm having some trouble. I just switched from an S4 to a Note 3 and I tried to flashed this ROM in my ROM slot 1 and it rebooted by stays as a completely black screen with the blue LED light on. Any idea why it is doing this? Any advice will help. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fz798:
Yup, you can't use ROM slots with SafeStrap 3.72, instead you have to flash to the stock slot.

If you're soft-bricked, you will have to ODIN back to MJE, flash a 4.3 ROM, install SafeStrap 3.65 (or 3.71), then start again. Remember to *NOT* reboot immediately after flashing RLS8, instead, reboot to download mode and install the NC2 fiirmware (using ODIN). If you fail to do this, you will bootloop and have to start all over again, again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Iskateforfree:
Ah okay I gotcha. I'm not sot-bricked right now. I just restored my stock ROM. I'm downloading RLS7 instead because I don't want to use KK just yet. Would you mind telling me how I can go about flashing RLS7 properly? How can I downgrade my SafeStrap?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] burbank:
I too had to do a battery pull each time I tried to do a restart. I'm thinking it's because Safestrap slots are not supposed to be used (they are not supported). I just wiped my slot1 and installed RLS8 into stock. I'll let you know if that resolves the shutdown issue. (I suspect it will.)
